2007: War in Iran or Syria?

Earlier this morning I wrote that I could not see a scenario where the US went into Iran, but maybe I am too trusting that someone in the administration has a brain. Some feel that the US will join Israel and Great Britain in taking on Syria and Iran. Robert Parry is one of those people. Here is a taste of what he thinks may happen in 2007:

In early 2007, the revival of this neoconservative strategy of using the Israeli military to oust the Syrian government and to inflict damage on Iran’s nuclear program may represent a last-ditch – and high-risk – gamble by Bush and the neocons to salvage their historic legacy.

If that is the case, then Bush will approve “the surge” in U.S. forces into Iraq, which likely will be followed by some provocation that can be blamed on Syria or Iran, thus justifying the expanded war.
